But Glenn has dismissed Pochettino’s claims, suggesting instead that it was in fact Tottenham’s end-of-season tour of Asia and Australia that most likely to blame.

"It was great to see Harry score and the performances I have seen have certainly merited that reward,” said Glenn.

"A number of our young players are thriving in the league, having played in the summer Under-21 tournament, although they didn’t all embark on commercial tours of the Far East with their clubs, as Harry had to with Spurs.

"International tournament experience is vital for our young players,” he continued. “Every nation to have won a major tournament can trace their success back to their development teams. We need to respect and recognise the importance of playing for England and the great benefits it can bring to young players."
